Brief description The bacterium H. pylori, is the leading cause of gastric ulcers, infecting over half of the world population. Furthermore, patients infected with the bacteria exhibit an increased risk of developing gastric cancer, with 900,000 new cases diagnosed yearly. The current proposal will study an enzyme which allows the bacterium to evade the host's immune system. The work aims to develop inhibitors of the enzyme as therapeutic agents to treat peptic ulcers.
